Illinois' flagship university has its checkered history of practices and expenses, much of it reported by this newspaper.

West Virginia University was named the top party school for the third time since the ratings began 21 years ago. It has been among the top 20 in that category 12 times and was last No. 1 in 2007. WVU also clinched awards in two categories that some might argue are related: first in "Lots of Beer," and third in "Students Study the Least" (despite having the 15th-best campus library)

Mid-American Conference commissioner Jon Steinbrecher says he likes the overall progress of his league on and off the field as the 2012 football season approaches. “We're coming off a couple of pretty good seasons; we're coming off a season where we were 4-1 in bowl games and had a pretty good regular season,” he said. “We are 7-3 in our last 10 bowl games. That's all great, but that's also all in the past. So now we need to do it again and those things need to be the expectations and not the exceptions.

ST. LOUIS -- Ohio University left the Edward Jones Dome feeling like it let one get away, and North Carolina didn't disagree. "Obviously, this feels terrible," said junior Walter Offutt, who scored 26 points but couldn't shake the pain of missing a free throw that would've put Ohio on top 64-63 with 25 seconds left in regulation. "To be one free throw away. As a leader of this team, I take responsibility. " Senior forward Tyler Zeller helped North Carolina avoid the upset Friday and survive to play in Sunday's regional final with a 73-65 overtime win over Ohio University.
